Chucumite tour

About Chucumite

Chucumite is comprised of John Robles and Roberto Perales, two musicians who share a love of son jarocho, the traditional music of the southern portion of the state of veracruz, Mexico. John Robles is the harpist for Chucumite. The Santa Paula, California native began teaching himself son jarocho at the age of twelve, learning by ear from the recordings of such great Veracruzan harpists as Andres Huesca (Los Costenos), Jacinto Gatica (los nacionales), and most notably the legendary harpist Mario Barradas Murcia of the Conjunto Jarocho Medellin de Lino Chavez.
